Me as well. Do I need to sign up on faceless forums to be official?

So baller. I should probably sign up for one of these perma groups. Have a several week runway of nothing but time when this releases. Could probably do 20h/day no sweat.

Yeah. It's a pretty low chance, maybe 20%?

What amazed me about the Combine was just how competitive it was. I spent a few weeks prior to release thinking through leveling routes and working on dialing in my class. I knew that I'd be working at release, but I really underestimated how seriously some people were prepared to take it. Xygon...

On Rathe, in 99, if you were clearing FG's, Ice Giants, Fear Trash or Hate Trash, you basically had claim to the god if it was up and you had enough to engage. BOTS and KEG had started to camp out on the wall of the FG castle on the other side of the lava on server shutdowns, but that was about...

Haven't played on NL in a while, but thanks for taking the server over, Control. Sail stepped in at a tough time and offered stability that eventually brought the server a pretty healthy population. Really enjoyed my time there, it's good to see that it's being taken care of.

Pretty sure I'll be in 110% for this in the early days. Getting out of grad school in early May and don't start work until mid July. Having a fuck of a time deciding on class. Thinking either bard, wizard, enchanter or cleric.

I think it was a function of the relative difficult and the true 1 box nature. Early on in the game, stuff wasn't as fleshed out as it is now. People were terrible at their classes and you knew you needed a good guild to get anywhere, and most decent guilds would protect their reps. Guilds that...

I'm surprised that DBG doesn't strike some kind of deal with P99 to host their game and do some sort of profit split or buyout. Fresh TLP servers on virgin 99 soil would be a lot more lucrative to someone like me than this watered down shit. The real question is how incremental the subscriber...

Vendor is in the house directly to the right when you port in from MPG hub. There's a vendor that spells like bark/Regen/pumice and gate pots. Gates are free and don't stack.

I've been on Bristlebane for a week or so. Definitely a decent amount of players - can't speak to raiding. Did some research before I rolled and it seems like one of the higher pop regular live servers. Was on FV for a week before that. FV has a ton of action, but it's hard to get a true sense...

I tried a similar combo when I started. NTOV took almost 7 hours. After that, I threw in the towel and rethought what I needed to bring to the table to progress in a way that still felt fun.

Velious will increase HPs to a point where your combo will be super slow, most likely. You can do all of Velious and Luclin, and really a lot of PoP with 3, but you'll die of boredom before fights end with that combo. Mob HPs scale from 20k or so in VP to 250k in NTOV and 400-600k in Vex Thal...

I'm legit on vacation from May until mid July, considering giving this a try. Probably bard.

Think it depends a lot on company industry and culture. I work at a bank and backpacks wouldn't really fly. You can get really durable over the shoulder bags from Coach for a few hundred, any other higher end ones will be 2-3x as much.

Wouldn't that system be highly detectable?

Ah, missed the caveat of all-access, skimmed the promo write-up. Never played EverQuest before? No problem! This promotion is also available to new accounts if they have an All Access Membership! Being a member has its perks, and you can learn more about membership benefits here..

Wonder if they even thought about inflation. If every toon gets 15k plat just for logging in and hitting the heroic button, I'm sure there'll be people to just sploit the fuck out of that with a million accounts.

The amount of fresh 85's popping up on FV is just insane right now. Also, you can just make heroics without even having a paid account? This is great. Going to make 85's of every class just because.

I was thinking of trying to box my way through some older content (TSS, TBS, etc) with these super boosted heroic toons while I wait for this to launch.

Is bugged. Solutions are: GM, someone with a key, someone who can use a pet to pull the Eye off of the island. Comes up pretty often, because it's been bugged forever. If you target eye with MQ and /pet attack while jumping off the side, you can usually pull eye. This is from island 1 that you...

I had been thinking that a slower progression server like this really needs a critical mass of people to be truly viable. Seeing how the sponsored server will almost certainly provide that, I decided to just wait for that to release before putting serious effort into EQ again.

% caster damage is also overhaste, so that's a mandatory anyway. Will aa's, all bard stuff hits pets, so that's also not a concern, and if he drops BST, he'll have no slow. Monk is good, but some fights with unresistable PB stuff will eat you up a bit (AHR comes to mind), but honestly, you'll be...

I think you guys would tear any content in half with that setup.

Would love to know what you were thinking on this one, Ditzy.

I can't tell if this is a log issue or an actual game issue, but most of the low level stuff that I'm fighting seems to have 100% accuracy. I haven't seen any misses yet.

I think TAKP would have been better off as a 1 box outlay; the controls are a pain, but they're made worse by how much more challenging it is to box there. That said, I liked playing Al'Kabor a lot, but I think the effort was justified because it was what you needed to do to play on a classic...

Theoretically, it could be as easy as changing the account_id on the character table to point towards your account_id of the different account. If you created some dummy char on this separate account, you could do a lookup on the character name to find out that account_id, and just do an update...

It was salvaged back to early September, iirc. Got AHR down with my boxes. 2 blobs was harder by far. I don't think I'll bother clearing VT again; shame as the keys took forever.

I think that's the one I use as well.

Dad experience here is pretty great. Leveling new toons here once you already have 65's is also really easy. They let you pass all of your quest achievement to a new toon once per account, and you can get extended duration level 65 buffs on level 1 characters if you're grouped with a 65. I've...

NL is running great. About 30 online and I think it's more smooth than it was under Sail's hosting. Able to swarm the balls out of Droga - doing numbers that would have otherwise crashed my machine.

Yeah, unfortunately QP is really only good for practicing very basic mechanics. It's really difficult to develop and legit game sense, positioning or higher level habits in QP because you have no cohesive lines/play. I think it causes more bad habits than its worth, but it can be a good warm up.

I was looking forward to nolifing this entire weekend. Feels bad, man. Thoughts on my personal custom server: Items 35% more powerful on all primary stats. Weapons 35% more damage, 20% less delay Going to boost PC spell damage by some % as well. Lessening Mobs HP/AC/Resists/Accuracy by a...

Oh, no prob. You missed the gravy train after you left. Once I hit 44, could group with wizard and own all faces. Paladin is 65 now :D I'm making my own custom server hosted on my laptop for shits and giggles. Just going to uniformly buff all items and weaken mobs similar to NL. Seems pretty...

Looks like the server is going to be down until Sunday. Just FYI for anyone looking to jump on.

I definitely just duo'd Vyemm in TOV with War/Monk only using healing pots, and they're only in Velious gear. (Third box got shot into the lava when the fight started :/) Now, I have max AA's and the ability to use glyphs pretty liberally, but yeah.

Yeah, sky took me like 5 hours, I got zero loot, and then Sirran wouldn't spawn. A GM ended up making me the key, so I help people with it whenever I can.

I liked the progression stuff overall, but I thought EOV and the planar requirements were a little annoying. Most of the other requirements are things you more or less would have done anyway; those ones took forever and took you real far afield of what you would otherwise be doing. Especially...

The tuning curve on NL is really well done. I'm not even sure how intentional it was, but the balance and time/reward etc is spot on. You'll definitely struggle with content if you try to come in way under geared, but with the Fabled Kunark gear that drops in VP, you can kit out a 3 box that can...
